Bandwidth usage has quadrupled since posting the music tracks. That’s not saying a lot, and it may not be saying anything if it is bots scraping content.

I’ve been meaning to test whether I could use AI to ink my pencil drawings and color them. I’m sure it can. I need to go ahead and get that test done. That could be a decent compromise. I never liked digital drawing. It would be nice if I could go back to doing real pencil drawings again.
